Each year, over 30 high school bands from across Louisiana come to
Cajun Field to compete in the Louisiana Showcase of Marching Bands.
Co-sponsored by Lafayette Music and the Pride of Acadiana Marching
Band, Showcase provides a great opportunity for bands to perform for
large crowds and earn recognition and awards. The Pride of Acadiana is
featured in exhibition each year right before the award ceremony.

Showcase
is special among marching band contests as there is no entrance fee for
the bands. The profits are returned to the participating bands or
donated to UL for use in scholarships designated for future band
directors.
